ISB ~ Luke 19 v38

Blessed is the King:The crowds chant Ps 118:26 in fulfillment of Jesus’ words in 13:35. The Hallel Psalms (11318) were regularly sung by Jewish pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem for the sacred feasts of Passover, Weeks, and Booths. See note on Mk 11:8-10. Peace … glory: Echoes the angelic hymn of 2:14.
